| − | Several classical anarchist thinkers, such as [[Josiah Warren]], [[Benjamin Tucker]], [[Lysander Spooner]], [[Max Stirner]], [[Dora Marsden]] and [[Joseph Labadie]], are known as individualist anarchists. [[Voltarine De Cleyre]] in her early career was also an individualist anarchist.

| − | Individualist anarchists are claimed as part of their tradition by [[anarcho-capitalism|anarcho-capitalists]], in turn, some individualist anarchists claim some works by anarcho-capitalists as part of their tradition, though without fully adhering to them.

| − | [[libertarian socialism|Libertarian socialists]] insist that many of these authors, after and including [[Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]], rejected essential foundations of [[capitalism]], namely the legalism of private property (as opposed to the mere right to use), particulary with regard to land, and the charging of interest or rent.

| − | [[Max Stirner]] rejected Proudhon's ideas about property as a collective good, but also rejected all kinds of [[liberalism]] and the idea of rights to personal properties as an illusion or "ghost", clearly stating that there is no divine right to own anything, you only have what you have and that's it. In Stirner's view there are no [[morality|moral]] obligations attached to property, or anything else for that matter. Thus he deems both Proudhon's concept of "individual property as theft" (paraphrased) ''and'' the [[libertarianism|libertarian]] idea of property as a natural principle as founded in [[superstition|superstitious]] beliefs. (In this concept he also explicitly included all "immaterial" or "spiritual" posessions, see ''[[The Ego and His Own]]''.)
